Why Spray Foam is the Best
Created on site by blending two different chemical formulas together, spray foam insulation (or SPF for short) expands on contact, creating a foam that cures into place. SPF is an excellent insulator, air sealant, and moisture barrier, and at EcoStar we’ve seen how these key features of installing spray foam insulation in Markham can improve your home environment. Because it’s sprayed on, spray foam insulation forms a continuous barrier on interior walls, and finds its way into tricky corners and curves that traditional insulation can’t. This makes installing spray foam insulation in Markham an excellent choice for those who are concerned about the energy efficiency of their home.
Cost Effectiveness with Spray Foam Insulation
Over the course of a southern Ontario year, the temperature can be as high as +30 and as low as -30, and having your home insulated correctly can make a huge difference in your comfort and the state of your pocketbook. In a poorly insulated home, the furnace or air conditioning unit needs to run twice as hard to keep the indoor environment warm or cool - over decades, this extra wear and tear can mean more frequent repairs or a shorter life span for your unit. Installing spray foam insulation in Markham can greatly reduce the air leakage in your home, and therefore your energy bills, by forming a seal in your building envelope that ensures the warm or cool air you’re creating stays where you want it - indoors.

Why Spray Foam Insulation Is Beneficial to Markham Property Owners
The two most common types of spray foam insulation in Markham that EcoStar Insulation uses are 1/2 pound open cell, and 2 pound closed cell spray foam. Our experienced technicians are happy to aid you in finding the right kind of spray foam insulation in Markham to suit your building and needs.1/2 pound open cell spray foam has a lower density than 2 pound. It provides excellent sound insulation and acts as an efficient air sealant.
At EcoStar Insulation, we also see a lot of 2 pound closed cell spray foam insulation in Markham, especially in newly constructed buildings. We find 2 pound closed cell insulation to be more rigid than 1/2 pound, and it’s a superb air barrier and has a high R-value insulation rating. If you’re not sure spray foam insulation in Markham is for you, EcoStar Insulation also installs blown-in cellulose and fibreglass insulation, because we know how important using the right material for the job is.
